Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the biomechanical properties of the bilateral pedicle screw(BPS)and bilateral modified cortical bone trajectory screw(BMCS)fixation techniques in the posterior lumbar interbody fusion(PLIF)model of the L4-5 segment.Methods Finite element models of the L1-S1 lumbar spine were established using three cadaveric lumbar spine specimens.BPS-BPS(TT at the L4-5 segment),BPS-BMCS(TT at the L4 segment and MCBT at the L5 segment),BMCS-BPS(MCBT at the L4 segment and TT at the L5 segment),and BMCS-BMCS(MCBT at the L4-5 segment)were implanted into the finite element model.The range of motion(ROM)at the L4-5 segment and the peak von Mises stress on the internal fixation system,cage,and connecting rods were compared under bending,extension,flexion,and rotation conditions with a 400 N load and 7.5 N·m torque.Results The BMCS-BPS group showed lower ROM and von Mises stress on the cage,internal fixation system,and connecting rods under rotational conditions than the BPS-BPS,BPS-BMCS,and BMCS-BMCS groups.The BPS-BMCS and BMCS-BPS groups had significantly reduced ROM of the L4-5 segment under bending and rotational conditions compared with the BPS-BPS group,and significantly decreased ROM under rotational conditions compared with the BMCS-BMCS group.The BPS-BMCS and BMCS-BPS groups had a significantly reduced risk of cage subsidence under bending conditions compared with the BPS-BPS group,and under rotational conditions compared with the BMCS-BMCS group.The BPS-BMCS and BMCS-BPS groups had a significantly reduced risk of connecting rod fractures under bending and rotational conditions compared with the BPS-BPS and BMCS-BMCS groups.This enhanced the stability of the internal fixation system.Conclusions PLIF combined with the BPS-BMCS and BMCS-BPS fixation techniques can provide better stability for the internal fixation system and vertebral body as well as a lower risk of cage subsidence and connecting rod fracture during bending and rotation in the human body.This would improve the success rate of surgery and recovery effect of patients.
